Tom Burr - Bortolami Gallery
Completed: March 2023
Location: New York, NY
Project Type: custom fabrication, metalwork, fine art sculpture, artist installation
Stand and Build is pleased to work with Bortolami and Tom Burr again for his seventh exhibition at the gallery. Burr’s body of work activates the space with a series of architectural interventions, creating a unique space for the work to be displayed. Custom iron supports brace each wall within the exhibition, connecting the exhibition-specific construction to the existing gallery space.
Burr continues his signature plywood sculptural style with four new plywood panels positioned within the installation. Each panel has been modified with a variety of prints, steel and brass plates, and acrylic paints. Connecting to recurring motifs throughout Burr’s career, the images on these panels conjure ideas of performance and identity.
